Prefab Houses; Escape From Civilization
The KODAby Estonian design collective Kodasema is a portable house that builders can install in seven hours. With a modern, space-saving design and a 25-square-meter footprint. In our minds KODA can become whatever you want a city-centre home, a lakeside summer house, a cosy caf辿, an office, workshop or studio or even a classroom. KODA House, Estonia
This off-the-grid, 350-square-foot cabin near Ottawa is made of three used shipping containers and powered by rooftop solar panels. The owner built it himself at a price of CAD $20,000, with each container costing CAD$3,400 (or about US$2,600). The solar powered system cost an additional $30,000. The home became one of the most popular prefab houses on the web in 2015 after a photographer posted photos on Reddit. The story was shared on by the CBC, Huffington Post, and Daily Mail. Ottawa Container Cabin, Canada
Pilis Forest Cabin, Hungary Zsolt Batar, an accomplished architecture photographer, worked with Hungarian firm T2.a Architects to design a cabin that looks good and unique, is of excellent quality, and can be built during very short time and for a reasonable price. The result was a geometric design that fit with the surrounding forest. Prefabricated timber elements meant Batar built the house in just two days, and it became a favourite in Hungarys 2013 Media Architecture Prize.
This micro-home by Spanish firm Abaton was designed for easy transportation and installation. At just 92 meters, it is suitable for only a couple of people but can be moved whole on the back of a truck. Portable Low-Cost Prefab, Spain
Like #2 on our list, the Little Box on the Prairie was built with recy- cled shipping containers and became a bit of a celebrity, being featured on HGTVs show Extreme Homes. Its easy to see why when you look at the surroundings. Did you know: Construction is responsible for half of all non-re- newable resources we consume. Some countries, including the UK and Sweden, have turned to prefab to reduce this figure. The 750-square-foot house sits on a 10-acre plot just below the Absaroka Mountains in Montana. Its glass wall gives residents a full view of the grasslands and wildlife around it. You can rent the Little Box for around $250 per night. Little Box on the Prairie, U.S.
Designed as a home and studio, artist Julio Garcia built an affordable 800-square-foot house in Savannah, Georgia with two recycled shipping con- tainers. The structure makes use of one shipping container construction possibility you dont see very often. The homes two modules are not joined but have a 6-foot gap with a wood-frame addi- tion. The design feature is both aesthetic and creates additional space. Savannah Project, U.S.
Another off-the-grid prefab house, the Lotus Lake House in Grass Valley, California is available for $200-$300 a night on Airbnb. It has been featured in media outlets in- cluding Dwell, Inhabitat, and Sunset Magazine. It has Build it Green and Keep the Sierras Green cer- tifications, and guests have to use water and utilities spar- ingly. Lotus Lake House, U.S.
